Free tool (AI) or none to turn a hand drawn UI sketch into an actual sketch

Wed, 04/17/2024 - 1:56pm

I have some UI sketches that I've drawn with hand on paper. I've scanned them and now have them in my laptop. I'd like to turn them into sketches that look like they've been created using a wireframe applications. Are there any free tools available for it?

Show HN: A self-published art book about Google's first 25 years

Wed, 04/17/2024 - 1:09pm

This took me 3 years to finish. (It is 100% self-published, not endorsed by Google.)

So… I wrote a book. It’s a different book with a unique approach. It’s not a novel or a technical book. It’s a biography, a company’s biography. My hope is that it serves two purposes: to inspire founders and to captivate interior designers.

It all started three years ago. My wife and I were discussing interior design for our living room and she brought up what beautiful coffee table books should we have. After looking at her favorites I realized there’s nothing like this for tech startups. Digital products are intangible, how cool would it be to make them tangible and a beautiful art/decor book for your home office or living room?

This idea of consolidating my particular interests with my wife’s decorative goals got stuck in the back of my head for a while. I searched and searched. I could only find these kinds of books related to design, architecture, fashion, or travel. Nothing about tech startups. The next logical step for me was to do it myself…

And oh… what a “mistake” it was. This whole project was done during nights and weekends - the first half while working on my startup and the last half while helping create Webflow Labs. You have no idea how many times I “quit” the project. In the end, perseverance and discipline were key to making it happen.

Google

During my founder journey, I collected several notes about successful (and unsuccessful) tech startups to help me learn from them. I decided to write about Google’s fascinating story: a true generational company and one of the most valuable companies in the world.

It’s with great pleasure and satisfaction that I’m introducing you to “Google - First 25 Years”. A book celebrating the minds behind the tech giant's incredible journey from Stanford to global dominance.

Uniqueness

I have absolutely no idea if this book’s format and concept make sense or if it has an audience willing to invest ($169). Here are some of the unique features:

▪ Silk hardcover

▪ Limited edition

▪ Handpainted edges

▪ More than 30 handmade illustrations

I’m producing only 1,000 copies. If the book concept seems interesting enough, leave a comment, I’d love to know your thoughts!

Learnings

Either way, this project was a super fun ride where being outside my comfort zone was the best way to learn storytelling, graphic design, and product manufacturing.

At least, I hope this inspires you to go back to your side projects and finish them!

Show HN: UnInbox – open-source modern email – 1000 gh stars

Wed, 04/17/2024 - 1:08pm

Last summer I snapped after the chaos in my inbox almost cost me a few thousand dollars.

Email is almost 50 years old and it's barely changed. We have, and the way we communicate has changed dramatically.

The way email is now, doesn't match with the way we work and live. It's like using cave paintings when we have the internet.

So I set out to imagine what email would be like if it was designed today - or - what email should have been.

On Friday we launched on Product Hunt - getting #1 of the day, and just now we reached 1000 stars on github with 1750 users!

UnInbox focuses more on the content of conversations than the noise around them. It's collaborative from the start, letting us bring concepts and ideas we're used to from our normal apps like slack or figma.

We dont follow email standards internally, so the data structure gives lots of flexibility like adding watchers to a conversation, or setting statuses and automations.

Think of it more like a collaborative productivity chat experience that connects to email.

UnInbox fully open source with a cloud version on our site. Its completely standalone so can be used as the only mail system, or can work in "piggy-back" mode along side something like google.

And it's fully self-hostable too - if you like sleepless nights and dealing with email block lists.

You can sign up today, claim a free @uninbox.me email address, and experience it for yourself!

It's early days, theres a lot to build, but we're excited for a better email future.

Would love your feedback!
